The locals were abuzz recently when they learned that Thomas Keller was coming to L.A. (Beverly Hills specifically) to open a Bouchon on Canon Drive.  He’s in the local news again this morning, but as a writer in this week’s LA Times Food section.  Dipping his toes into the LA media pool?  Not a bad way to make nice with his upcoming market - though frankly, the world is that man’s market.  What foodie doesn’t have dinner at The French Laundry on their ‘must do’ food list?  The end of the article mentions it’s based off a speech he gave previously to the California Restaurant Association, but even his seconds are pretty first rate.
